Yes, Anthony Davis is indeed an important player and the key to the team's success. We already saw their situation when he wasn't around for the team and as long as Anthony Davis will remain healthy, the Lakers really got a decent shot to grab their own seat on the playoffs this season. In his last 10 games alone, he looks like he was carrying the team on his back gathering humungous points per game, and earlier he again scored 55 points and 17 rebs as they finished the Wizards on the road.
The potential of Anthony Davis in the Lakers is pretty much crazy, and right now he is regaining his form every time the season progresses, and I think if this continues we can see a 100% Anthony Davis for the Lakers, and for the NBA trade deadline it will be on February 9, 2023, Anthony Davis would be a much bigger gun for the other teams if you include Anthony Davis with the other and if he's going to be healthy for the remainder of the season then a chance for the pay-offs for sure, Imagine the Golden State Warriors will trade Anthony Davis, with James Wiseman, Mosses Moody, and Andrew Wiggins, it will be a big shift for the Warriors in acquiring AD to their roster and it will surely elevate their potential for the finals, and that is what I think about the potential of Anthony Davis,
In my view, the game has already decided as the 2nd half began and that the Lakers owned the game because it was evident enough on my side that the Wizards cannot really close the huge gap that they are in, Anthony Davis was almost unstoppable as well as Lebron and then you have Walker and Westbrook on the side. When the 4th quarter began, it was just like a show already that the Lakers started, even Walker was posterizing a dunk and Davis was not on any pressures as he shoots from downtown.
Surely the Lakers are getting a big change with their games, and this is just because of Anthony Davis if Davis would manage to stay healthy for the rest of the season a high chance of the playoffs for the Lakers that is for sure, for me Anthony Davis is just that good, and if the Lakers would trade his this coming deadline NBA trade it is the loss for the Lakers if Anthony Davis would not be there for the team,
